I know these baseball cards aren't pre-war but they're still smokin' cool.


"Baseball is all I ever wanted. I could eat, sleep, and dream baseball." - Smoky Joe Wood

"Can I throw harder than Joe Wood? Listen mister, no man alive can throw any harder than Smoky Joe Wood." - Walter Johnson

Archie Graham: "Hey, that's Smoky Joe Wood. And Mel Ott. And Gil Hodges!"

Shoeless Joe Jackson: "Ty Cobb wanted to play, but none of us could stand the son-of-a-bitch when we were alive, so we told him to stick it!"

I got this card from Joe's son Bob about 20 years ago.

I believe the consensus in the end was that it was NOT Joe Wood in these photos. But an interesting discussion none the less, regarding some Bloomer Girls photos, f.w.i.w.
